Summary:

The 03234 zip code in New Hampshire is home to a single elementary school, Epsom Central School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 370 students. Epsom Central School is part of the Epsom School District, which is ranked 106 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Epsom Central School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates on the NH SAS assessments generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's overall math proficiency rate was 38% compared to the state average of 42%, and its science proficiency rate was 28% compared to the state's 38%. However, the school's reading proficiency rates are closer to the state averages, with an overall reading proficiency rate of 52% in 2024-2025 compared to the state's 55%.

The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 136 out of 224 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 167 out of 234 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Despite these challenges, Epsom Central School has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 20.81% in 2023-2024, and a small student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which may provide more individualized attention and support for students.
